Power-on self-test (POST)
Each time you turn on your computer, it performs a series of tests that check
the basic operation of the base computer. This series of tests is called the
power-on self-test (POST).
POST does the following:
v
Checks basic system board operations
v
Checks the memory operation
v
Compares the current system configuration with that established by the
Configuration/Setup Utility program
v
Starts the video operation
v
Verifies that the diskette drives are working
v
Verifies that the hard disk drive and the CD-ROM drive are working
POST error messages appear when POST finds problems with or changes to
the hardware during startup. POST error messages are 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, or
12-character alphanumeric messages and include brief explanations (except
I999XXXX errors).
Diagnostic error codes and messages
Diagnostic codes and messages appear if a hardware problem is detected by
one of the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics test programs or if POST detects a
problem. Along with error codes, the messages present text information that
can be used to identify a failing part.
